Chapter 1197 Chicken Out
The situation before Gonzo had him shouting fiercely, “Send whoever you want. The outcome will remain the same!”
With that said, glowing purple light started forming on Gonzo’s palm one after another before he darted toward Oakley relentlessly.
Meanwhile, Oakley just stood there calmly, waiting for Gonzo’s attack, only to suddenly raise and reach his hand toward Gonzo’s face as soon as Gonzo got dangerously close.
Bam!
A clear and loud noise sounded in an instant. It turned out that Gonzo received an impactful slap from Oakley despite him attacking first.
As for Gonzo, the next thing he knew, he was already sent flying into mid-air before he went crashing onto the ground.
That slap had left half of his face swollen, and blood was all over his mouth.
“I wonder who gave you the guts to come kicking up a fuss in the Village of Villains if you’re only capable of that. If you want us to surrender your target, you’d better ask your brother to come instead of you.” Oakley hurled a cold glance at Gonzo, and a murderous aura started spreading.
As soon as Gonzo sensed Oakley’s murderous aura, his expression turned grim.
Never had he thought that there would be such a massive gap between him and Oakley.
“Mr. Gonzo…”
The Rowling family’s butler hurriedly helped Gonzo up before he whispered to his master, “Mr. Gonzo, may I suggest we retreat tactically and plan carefully? The Village of Villains’ strength seems to be beyond our expectation.”
This time, Gonzo did not say anything else. After all, Oakley’s retaliation had slapped some self-awareness about the gap between his and the village of Villains’ strength right into his brain.
“Hmph. Just wait! The Rowling family will not let this go easily!” Gonzo fiercely stared at The Villainous Four.
“You little sh*t! How dare you threaten us? Do you still want to walk out of this place alive?”
Brody, however, would not take such an attitude. Hence, with a leap, Brody landed right in front of the entrance and blocked the path immediately.
Gonzo’s expression twisted once more as he was overwhelmed by awkwardness seeing this.
All he wanted to do was to say something to decorate his retreat to make himself look better, not to threaten them or provoke them in any way.
He had never expected Brody to take it seriously and blocked off his retreat.
Deep down, he knew that if these guys from the Village of Villains wanted to stop them from running away, none of them would be able to walk away.
“Brody, come back,” Oakley said.
With the order received, Brody had no choice but to abide by Oakley’s order, but that did not stop him from giving Gonzo a vicious glare.
As for Gonzo, he hurriedly squeezed his way through the path and left with his men after seeing Brody was no longer blocking their path.
“D*mn it! I’ll lay waste to the Village of Villains someday!” Gonzo fumed with an angry expression after they walked away for some distance.
“Mr. Gonzo, please be patient. Let’s talk about it later once we’re home.”
Gonzo nodded at his butler’s suggestion. It was as clear as broad daylight that he had severely underestimated the power of the Village of Villains. With the number of men he had with him right now, the Village of Villains would be a tough bone to chew on. Hence, he decided a new arrangement was needed once they got home.
On the other hand, just as Gonzo and his men left, a person stuck his head out from a nearly undetectable corner. Before he walked away, the man silently observed the group leaving the scene.
As for Skylar, who was now in the Norton residence in Jadeborough, he was immediately updated with the newest information about the situation.
“Mr. Norton, Gonzo just left the Village of Villains. It seems like they beat him up. His face is also swollen from an apparent slap.”
Skylar was updated by one of his subordinates with the newest update.
The update was definitely not pleasing news, for it had an angry Skylar slamming his hand onto the table as he growled, “D*mn you, Gonzo! What is he? Trash? How on earth did he bring himself to run away with his tail between his legs after being given just a slap? Is he even a man? I thought the Rowling family would have fought the Village of Villains with everything they had!”
After all, Skylar had already gathered his men and was waiting for his chance to step in. He had it all planned, waiting to enter the scene once both parties were exhausted and depleted to maximize his gain.
“Mr. Norton, there’s no need to hurry. The Rowling family will not let this go easily. I believe that they would surely start expanding their numbers once they returned to Marsingfill.”
The butler of the Norton family stepped forward and explained his point of view to Skylar.
“I’m worried the Rowling family would chicken out after realizing their strength differences. My plans will be in the gutter if that happens.”
He was worried that the fear injected into Gonzo would stop him from looking for trouble with the Village of Villains.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Norton. They won’t give up just like that. The Rowling family is the strongest family in Marsingfill, and almost all families and sects would follow the Rowling family’s orders. Hence, Gonzo would return to the Village of Villains once more after gathering more men. All we’ve got to do is wait patiently,” the Norton family’s butler explained.
“Hmph. I guess we have no choice then.” Skylar nodded.
